Donald Trump on His Plan to Deport Illegal Immigrants Despite Immigrant Ancestry

For someone who has immigrant wives and ancestors, it's quite ridiculous to know this person has a lot to say about immigrants.

Approximately 12 million illegal immigrants in the US are to be deported under Trump's administration, but he assures "the good people are going to be expedited to come back," during the August 23 edition of Face the Nation.

When asked how he could identify who these "good people" are, Trump noted those who have good recommendations from their previous work and those who have graduated from top universities in the US.

"We also want people of talent to come into the country," Trump said. "We want people to go to our colleges."

It should be noted that Donald Trump's grandfather, Friedrich Trump, was a 16-year-old apprentice barber from Kallstadt in southwest Germany when he came to New York on October 17, 1885. He first earned money by barbering then eventually went to Seattle to run diners and inns.

"My grandfather Frederick Trump came to the United States in 1885," said Trump. "He joined the great gold rush and instead of gold he decided to open up some hotels in Alaska. He did fantastically well. He loved this country, likewise my father and now me."

"My mother was born in Scotland, in the Hebrides, in Stornoway, so that's serious Scotland," said Trump in 2010. "And she was a great woman."

Apart from his immigrant ancestral roots, Donald Trump's first wife Ivana was also an immigrant born in Czechoslovakia. She was married first to an Austrian ski instructor for her to acquire a foreign passport. Ivana married Donald in 1977 and got her American citizenship 11 years after.

Another immigrant in Donald Trump's life is his current wife Melania Trump. Melania was born in Slovenia and moved to New York 20 years ago. She married Donald in 2005 and became an American citizen the following year.

Trump has expressed approval on legal immigration, but his one of his plans when put in the administration is to give priority to the domestically unemployed.

"You have a border, you have a country, and if you don't have a border what are we?" Trump asked. "Just a -- just a nothing. A nothing."

"We're building a wall. It's going to be a wall that is not -- nobody's going through my wall," Trump said. "Trump builds walls. I build walls."
